Community Jobs Photo Cards
Career exploration a teen can hold: twenty community jobs on photo cards, each with a real photo, what the job does in one line, the tools it uses, and a could-I-do-this reflection. Cluster icons match the free What Jobs Do I Like? interest inventory across four clusters (food and service, retail and stock, office and organization, facilities and care), sorting mats turn the deck into a decision, and the reflection sheet sends the want-to-try pile into the portfolio. Includes a teacher guide with three levels and three copy-paste IEP goals.

Career exploration a teen can hold: twenty community jobs, each on a photo card with a real photo, what the job does in one line, the tools it uses, and a reflection that treats the student as the judge, could I do this, what looks fun, what looks hard. Every card carries one of four cluster icons, food and service, retail and stock, office and organization, facilities and care, the same clusters the free What Jobs Do I Like? interest inventory scores, so the pair works as one exploration unit. Sorting mats turn the deck into a decision, jobs I want to try, not for me, tell me more, and the reflection sheet turns the want-to-try pile into a dated portfolio page an IEP team can actually use.

Questions from teachers
- Who are these career exploration cards for?
- Teachers and families of teens and young adults in transition and vocational programs, including 18-22 programs and community-based instruction. Every job is a real entry-level community job, photographed respectfully with no faces, and written at a secondary reading level.
- How do the cards connect to the free interest inventory?
- The free What Jobs Do I Like? inventory scores a student's picture choices into the same four clusters printed on these cards. Run the inventory first, then explore the cards cluster by cluster. Each stands alone, but they are built as one unit.
- What are the four clusters?
- Food and service, retail and stock, office and organization, and facilities and care. Each cluster also points at the Spectrum Unlocked Job Skills pack that practices that work for real.
- How do the sorting mats work?
- Every card lands on one of three mats: jobs I want to try, not for me, or tell me more. Not-for-me is a respected answer, and tell-me-more is where the next conversation starts. The reflection sheet then captures the want-to-try pile in the student's own words.
- Is there a data piece?
- Yes: three copy-paste IEP goals for interest identification and job knowledge, and the dated reflection sheet doubles as portfolio evidence for transition planning.

Getting a Job: Applications & Interviews
A transition pack for a first job: a My Info Card the student fills once and carries laminated to real applications, three practice applications at a guided and a realistic level, ten interview question cards with sentence frames, a sixteen-card Interview Day photo sort with mats and a computed key, a mock interview rubric in a staff and a student version, and a thank-you note. Copy-paste IEP goals with criteria and timeframes.
Job Skills Task Boxes: Food Service
Five vocational work bins that between them teach a real cafe job: match twelve order tickets to the finished trays, roll napkin and cutlery sets against a production goal the student counts themselves, judge whether a table is reset and ready for the next customer, sort eighteen condiment station cards as full, low or empty and clear the empties first, and assemble twelve coffee orders across three cup sizes. Every card is coded so the answer keys can check work without printing the answer on the front. Copy-paste IEP goals with criteria and timeframes.
